Indiana Girls Wrestling (IGW IGNITES) has been devoted to the growth of women's wrestling in the state for almost a year now. We currently have 72 girls in our database who frequently receive emails and updates on current tournaments and camps that offer girls divisions and instruction.We brought the first ever War of The Roses Nationally syndicated ALL Girls tournament to Indianapolis last November and had 46 girls from around the country participate. We have been working very hard with Brent Harvey (War Of The Roses and Regional USA Wrestling women's director) to host The 2017 USA Wrestling Girls Folkstyle Pre-Season Nationals. It will be a two day tournament starting on Oct. 27 and ending on Oct. 28 2017. The first night there will be an 8 team dual with a crossover Championship round. Champion singlets and a trophy will be given to the winning team. The second day will be an OPEN for any girl KIDS I thru Masters division can participate in. Champion singlets will also be given to each winner as well as Custom placement medals. We will attach the flyers to this message. If you have or know of any girl who would like to participate please contact Jason DeLois @ 317-201-8700. The tournament will be up on TRACK in a couple weeks after we field any questions or problems other states or coaches may have.

IGW hosted the Inaugural USA Girls Preseason National Duals and Open over the weekend. The tournament was a huge success bringing together over 140 girls which makes it the biggest girls wrestling event in Indiana history. Indiana was represented well by filling two teams Indiana Red/Blue. Indiana Red would go on to win the duals beating Ohio in the Finals. Six other states were represented. They were Wisconsin, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Georgia. IGW girls were even more impressive by going into the second day placing several wrestlers. They were as follows.
Division I
45lbs. Hanna Givens 4th
45lbs. Gloria Cloud 6th

IGW would like to personally thank the states very finest pairers Pat Culp and Pat VanHorn for running the tournament on Trackwrestling. Also everyone who pitched in and volunteered to make this tournament a huge success from parents to students. Without your support these things would not be possible.

A special thanks goes out to The Family of Brent Harvey, Megan Hurst and Harold Bucher for pressing forward and sponsoring it through War Of The Roses which we have been re-assured will continue. Great job everyone see you next year.
